How to use AproDerm Barrier Cream

A nappy rash is skin irritation. It occurs when your precious little one's delicate skin is exposed to prolonged wetness and contact with wee and poo in their nappy. It's made worse by the nappy rubbing against the sensitive skin. Prevention is always better than cure or treatment, so follow these three simple steps to care for and protect your baby's delicate skin from the causes of nappy rash:

• Gently clean your baby's nappy area from front to back using either cotton balls dampened with water or wipes that are fragrance-free and soap-free
• Make sure to clean all the creases too.
• Put an appropriate clean nappy (make sure it's the correct size as we don't want it rubbing or leaking!) under your baby's bottom and gently pat the area dry with a clean cloth, ensuring that you don't rub
• Softly apply a thin layer of AproDerm Barrier Cream to reduce the risk of nappy rash or to help heal if the nappy rash is already present. A penny-sized amount will do just fine (this covers an area of 100 cm2 – roughly the size of a square coaster). If you apply too much, the site will become greasy.
• Stroke the cream gently onto the skin, ensuring it gets into the creases. Avoid rubbing the area.
• AproDerm Barrier cream is so gentle it can be applied to the baby's bottom after every nappy change if required, up to 10 times a day. It is essential to use at nighttime, as your baby is in their nappy the longest without a change.

Be sure to change the nappy regularly to reduce your baby's skin contact with wee and poo. You should talk to your health visitor or GP for severe nappy rash or if your baby develops a temperature with inflammation.
